Not the best July 18, 2010
Justin Krusius
This camera has decent picture quality. After two weeks use this item is worthless, and the lens and ir leds are covered with condensation. The case that it is in is NOT AT ALL watertight.
 Functioning camera but awful quality July 1, 2010

Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R7MG0D4Q84XWU This camera functions, meaning it transmits an image from the lens to your monitor, however, the image quality is disgusting, it's some sort of weird black and white negative image. I would not recommend this product.
But if you do decide to buy: it comes with a single RCA/composite yellow wire about 12ft long. Also comes with a power wire which is about 3feet long. The RCA and power wires plug into female connectors making it easy to connect and disconnect. There is no easy way to disconnect the connectors (if that makes sense) so if you have to drill a hole to enter your trunk it will be a lot larger than the wire actually needs to be.
Also this thing is pretty big and noticeable making it not very attractive. I installed a similar wireless backup cam in my pops truck and that camera was about half the size of this thing.
I will be personally saving my money and purchasing a better camera in the future, but since this is installed I plan on using it for now.
 Good value, average performance January 27, 2010

Bottom line up front: Don't expect a $30 CMOS backup camera to perform like your $600 camcorder.
This camera is good for the price. I installed it rather quickly in conjunction with my Pioneer AVIC-Z110BT. It added a Pyramid 10-amp noice filter ($3) as close to camera as possible to ensure it got clean power. It works fine. I can see anything behind me, day or night. Between the IR illuminators on the camera and your backup lights, anything close enough to be of concern at normal reversing speeds are illuminated.
After careful aiming, I know right where the "sweet spot" is for backing closse to other car's bumper and other obstacles behind me and still have a save 6-12" buffer. I now get in and out of tight spots with ease.
Important notes:
- Don't expect this to look like HDTV. It's a $30 CMOS camera.
- Use the $3 noise filter.
- Route your cables carefully. You should ground the negative lead as close to the camera aspossible and run the positive lead to your choice of power supply (the reverse lights, of you want the camera on only when you're backing, or an accessort power, if you wnat it on when the car's on - as in my case where my head unit has a "rear view" mode for viewing trailers and such while moving forward). If conecting to accessory power, you'll likely have to extend the cable to the front of the vehicle. Keep it a few inches from the from the video cable, and make sure both the video and power cable cross each other and other cables at 90-degrees, and avoid parralle runs. Also, be prepared to extend the video cable. I had to add a 6-foot extension to mine in order to get it to reach the head unit.
I don't understand wht someone would spend over $100 for a higher quality camera for the purpose of just backing up, unless they're using it for some sort of high-speed reversing and/or using a really large screen, in which case I would personally use a 0 lux securty-type camera with a differnt mounting location.

DO NOT BUY THIS!!!! its junk. blurry black and white "negative" looking picture, very dark, it's junk no if ands or buts about it. i tried to install it and thought i did it wrong so i took it to a shop and they laughed when i showed it to them, they told me it was junk before hooking it up and i asked them to hook it up anyways, they did and with the same result. I'm out the $30+ i paid for it and also the $50 for the install.

This is the worst camera to buy. I bought it and had to return it. No night vision no low light cabably as stated and even in the morning it has very dark picture. People and other object look almost black and white. Hooked up to two diffrent tv systems and same results do not buy this camera.
